Busselton woman Linda Smith isn't a nurse or a doctor, but has the privilege of being with people in their last moments.
A volunteer at Busselton Hospice Care Inc, she's part of a 30-year-effort in the seaside community to ensure no-one need die, or grieve, alone.
"The stories that you are told are amazing and you go home quite heartened … they have impacted on my life," she said.
